Chapter 52 The Madman Qin Has Arrived
The woman and child ran a short distance before encountering two other people.
Upon meeting, the two asked, "Hongxiu, Xiaochao, why did you come back?"
Hongxiu replied, "Xiao Chao didn't know what was going on either. He suddenly turned around and ran away. I didn't understand what was happening and was afraid something had happened, so I ran back after him."
The child glanced back, saw nothing, then patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Aunt Chun, Aunt Lan, you don't know who just came!"
Aunt Chun and Aunt Lan looked at Xiao Chao, then at Hong Xiu.
Hongxiu glanced at him and said, "Don't look at me. I didn't see any villains. I just saw a girl come over, and we exchanged a few words. Then Xiao Chao started running wildly, and I just followed him."
Xiao Chao jumped up and said, "Didn't you see the kidnapper? Do you know who that girl is? That's Qin Wenjing, the madwoman! The madwoman is here, she scared me to death!"
Hongxiu laughed and said, "Xiao Chao, aren't you usually quite tough? Why are you so scared by a girl today?"
Xiao Chao glared at her and said, "Aunt Hong, we're only after money, not risking our lives, right?"
Aunt Hong replied, "That's for sure. Life is so important; preserving your life is the most important thing."
Xiao Chao said, "But that crazy guy Qin is really reckless!"
Then he told the three women about Qin Wenjing's glorious achievements at school, especially mentioning that neither Liu Xiaoying nor her mother dared to mess with Qin Wenjing. The three women fell silent.
From what they knew, Liu Xiaoying and her mother were ruthless characters who feared nothing and had powerful backers. Even they dared not offend them; they were indeed quite frightening.
Xiao Chao paused for a moment and then said, "The students all call her Crazy Qin. Whenever they hear that Crazy Qin is coming, they don't dare to bully their classmates anymore."
"Just seeing her grin makes my ears hurt and my neck go cold," Xiao Chao said, instinctively covering his ears.
Aunt Hong pulled her clothes closer to her neck and said, "It's true what they say: the ruthless are afraid of the vicious, and the vicious are afraid of the reckless."
Aunt Chun, who was wearing yellow, said, "It's best not to mess with this kind of tough nut."
The group quickly reached a consensus: "That shop assistant has a daughter like Qin Fengzi; we can't afford to mess with her. We should avoid her."
Qin Wenjing's "fame" intimidated those people. They originally thought they could go to work in peace, but Yingzi came over to her that night and said, "Someone told me today that you gave customers counterfeit money as change."
Deng Xiuzhen said, "Boss lady, I really didn't give her counterfeit money in change."
Yingzi said, "I know your character. You wouldn't give back the counterfeit money you received last time. I believe you."
Deng Xiuzhen was taken aback: You call that believing? You're beating around the bush that I gave back the counterfeit money I received last time!
But she couldn't say it, because people didn't say she found the counterfeit money; they said they believed her.
She could only keep these words to herself, even though it was painful.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" After all, she was the boss's wife, and although Deng Xiuzhen was feeling frustrated, she still had to speak politely.
"I've seen the sales figures these past few days; you're a really good salesperson. It's just that the counterfeit money issue has gotten out, and it's had a very bad impact on the store."
"And some customers say your child is quite 'unique,' so they don't dare come anymore." Yingzi emphasized the word "unique" and dragged it out, her words carrying a hidden meaning. Deng Xiuzhen was even angrier, but she couldn't retort.
“When I run a business, I believe in making money through harmony. Look at this matter…” Yingzi said, looking at Deng Xiuzhen.
Deng Xiuzhen understood: the landlady meant for her to leave, but probably still hoped that she would understand the implication and quit.
Now that the landlady has this intention, there's no way she can continue doing this.
She didn't hesitate and readily quit her job.
After settling her wages, she bought some oranges on the street and headed home.
As she walked into the alley, she noticed a person with messy hair and tattered clothes walking into the alley.
The person seemed drunk, walking slowly and unsteadily.
She was startled and ran forward, rushing past the man towards her home. As she passed him, a stench wafted over, making her feel like vomiting.
"Xiuzhen," the person called out.
The voice was hoarse, like the harsh sound of sand rubbing together, but it was clear that it was calling her name.
Deng Xiuzhen stopped and turned around, but didn't say anything, preparing to run away at any moment.
The alley was not very bright, but you could tell that the person was extremely thin and had long, messy hair.
A gust of wind blew by, and Deng Xiuzhen felt the person sway slightly, as if another gust of wind would cause them to fall.
She dared not go over. Although the person could call her name, the voice was unfamiliar, and she dared not take the risk.
"Xiuzhen, it's me, Yanlin..." The man managed to say these words with difficulty, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and then collapsed.
"Yanlin?!" Deng Xiuzhen rushed over and hugged the man tightly.
Upon parting his hair, it was indeed Qin Yanlin.
At this moment, Qin Yanlin was extremely thin, looking like skin and bones.
"Yanlin!" Deng Xiuzhen called out, but Qin Yanlin did not respond.
In her previous life, Deng Xiuzhen had taken care of her grandson for many years and knew a lot about life.
I've watched many health-related WeChat videos and Douyin videos, so I know how to check my health.
She felt his pulse; thankfully, although weak, it was beating regularly.
Then I put my hand into my nostrils to check; there was a breath.
Deng Xiuzhen rushed home and called out in a low voice, "Wenjing, Wenxin, hurry up, your father is back!"
Several children ran over and asked, "Where's Daddy?"
Deng Xiuzhen said, "Let's not raise our voices. Your father is in the alley. He's not feeling well and can't walk anymore."
Wenjing, let's go carry him back.
Wenxin, hurry up and prepare some sweet soup so your dad can drink it when he gets back!
As Deng Xiuzhen spoke, she and Wenjing ran into the alley and carried Qin Yanlin into their home.
Deng Xiuzhen examined his body and found that he had many wounds, but fortunately they had healed, leaving only scars.
After the examination, it was found that Qin Yanlin's weakness was due to poor health, not other reasons, and Deng Xiuzhen was finally relieved.
Wenjing and Wenxin fed Qin Yanlin sugar water. After drinking the sugar water, Qin Yanlin slowly opened his eyes, but soon closed them again, exhausted.
He struggled to say, "Don't let anyone know I'm back for now," and then fell asleep.
Wenjing and Wenxin boiled water, and Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Wenyu gave Qin Yanlin a bath, changed him into clean clothes, and then carried him to bed, covered him with a quilt, and let him sleep.
Qin Yanlin slept for a full day and night. Whenever he moved, Deng Xiuzhen would help him up and give him sugar water with anti-inflammatory medicine added.
When Qin Yanlin woke up, his voice was still hoarse, but not as rough.
Deng Xiuzhen cooked millet porridge and fed it to him.
After sleeping for so long and eating a bowl of warm millet porridge, Qin Yanlin felt much better.
"Xiuzhen," Qin Yanlin said with difficulty.
"Don't speak yet, we'll have plenty of time to talk when you feel better," Deng Xiuzhen interrupted him, telling him to rest well.
